See how many characters your text has on each network, where it gets cut and when it becomes a thread on X, Threads and Bluesky.
Everything runs in your browser: no text or image is sent to Virio.

Each network counts its own way: on X, links and some characters (like emojis and Japanese letters) count double; Bluesky counts graphemes. Limits and rules are the same Virio uses to publish.
How to use
- Paste the post text (with hashtags).
- Check each network's counter and warnings: limit, text hidden behind "see more", hashtags and mentions.
- On X, Threads and Bluesky, long text becomes a thread: see the parts and use a line with only --- to choose where to cut.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Instagram's character limit?
- 2,200 characters in the caption, up to 30 hashtags and 20 mentions. After about 125 characters the text goes behind "more".
- How many characters fit in an X post?
- 280 in X's weighted count: links count as 23 and some characters count double. Beyond that, you can publish a thread.
- And on LinkedIn?
- 3,000 characters per post. After about 210 characters the text shows "see more".
- Is the text saved?
- No. Counting happens in your browser and nothing is sent.
